Comment field in the Membership application
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýThe only thing I miss is a the Comment field in the Membership application --- I agree with Patty's comment. I like to know why people wish to join the group. In the past, some groups in our industry would have less than honest people join the group to sell product, flame a product, attempt to farm email addresses. We have been able to minimize that in our groups so our members can feel comfortable and safe. I even vet individuals on my FB page for the product we talk about. So, if it existed, please bring it back! Thanks. Dale Ricklefs ---- Same here! I really miss the comment field; the pending membership message is necessary for us as well, but that?s only the second step. Victoria ? |

Re: Group Transfer Question - Two Groups.IO Memberships
Thanks, Shal, didn't realize the Wiki pages were public.? A new feature I'm still learning a little bit about.? So many nice, neat new things on Groups.IO.? The only thing I miss is a the Comment field in the Membership application.? We used that very heavily for several reasons.? Hoping Mark will bring that feature back, and allow list mods to make the comment a mandatory field (simple check box in the Settings).

My member was able to create an album and add a photo to it, but not to open an existing album and add a photo.I believe that's the problem.? If I remember right, the albums that get transferred are 'locked' so that only the owner (or moderators) can upload photos to it.? On the one(s) where you have permission, go to each album and click on Edit Album.? There will be two radio buttons available below the Description box, one for Group Access and one for Personal Access.? When they're set for Personal Access, only the album creator and moderators can upload new photos to it.? If you want everyone in the group to be able to add to any album, change each one to Group Access, then click the Update button.

I didn't notice the name of the album I was opening, sorry.? I was just trying to check what happens in an album in a group for which I am not a moderator or owner.? Now I know why there was no Add Photos button there.? :)? Since I attached my picture to an email, it is now included in that album.? I thought of adding it to a new album but since there was a reason for no Add Photo button, it wouldn't illustrate an actual problem. The albums in my groups must not be set up as email only since I do see the Add Photos buttons when I open them.? Nevertheless, members are not seeing the button.? The one member mentioned that specifically and a few others are saying they don't know how to add pictures.? Our groups use a system of monthly albums rather than albums for individual albums, so most won't try to create new albums to get around the problem. I already know it's possible to add photos to a self-created album, but how do we let our members add to already existing albums if there is no Add Photos button?? And how can we confirm that the albums are not for email attachments only?? I see nothing in the photos section of Admin settings.? I will ask my group member to take a screen shot showing the lack of the button. Carol B. On Fri, Jun 15, 2018 at 04:51 pm, Shal Farley wrote: Carol, |

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýPatty, Feel free to post it here, or maybe in our Wiki, for other"s benefit.
Note that GMF's Wiki pages, like its messages, are public. This means you don't have to copy it (unless you want to) - you can just pass the link to your members. That way if ours gets updated they'll see the updated content. Shal -- Help: /static/help More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list |

Re: Member Reports Inability To Add Photo Album
Carol,
I attached a picture of what I see inside the photo album for this group.? No Add Photos button is available.Well there's your problem: you're in the Emailed Photos album. That's a special album that is only for photos that arrived by email. Should I have created a new album for my picture instead?In this case, yes.

I understand about no add button in the main page of the photos page.? My member was inside an album at the time and there was no add photos button.? I was also inside the photo album for this group (GroupManagersForum) when I saw there was no add photo button. My member was able to create an album and add a photo to it, but not to open an existing album and add a photo.? Are albums ported over from Yahoo somehow closed?? The groups I am talking about were all transferred over this week. I did check to make sure my members have permission to upload and view photos.? I do not have access to the Admin settings for the groups I co-moderate. Carol B.

Re: Group Transfer Question - Two Groups.IO Memberships
Thanks, Chris.? I think I've pieced together some clear, step by step instructions for our list members that need a little hand-holding, I appreciate it.
And, I did read the Wiki page on email issues.? It caught my eye because @aol.com emails are on the list, and I (still) use aol.com for my email.? And, I will most certainly add that to our Wiki page and strongly encourage folks to read it so they know the resolutions.?

When you go to the Photos page, all you'll see will be the existing albums and a New Album button.? Once you're in an album (or have just created one), you should have the Add Photos button (along with Edit Album and possibly Delete Album.)? You can't upload photos to the main page, so no add button there.

Re: Member Reports Inability To Add Photo Album
A member of my group reported the same problem.? She doesn't see the Add photos button at all.
I checked the Settings and I had already set it to allow subscribers to view and upload.? There are two other groups which I co-moderate.? My member belongs to these groups and can't upload photos there, either.? I didn't have access to the settings to check on permissions, but did confirm that I see the add photos buttons for both. I then checked the photos page for this moderator group.? I do not see an add photos button.? Are members of this group supposed to have permission to upload photos?? Is this group the right place to report a possible bug? Carol B. |
